AN EARLY VICTIM

 

I tell my story truly so far and so near,
Let the words enhance the tale
For what happened years ago is here
I shall not hide in a dark and murky veil.
The story is very small, dense and simple
Though it will not be published in the media
I am not ashamed but brave enough to expose it.

At the age of seven, I was the victim of paedophilia
Now at an old age, I can tell that I haven’t recovered
My face was shamed, 
My mind and heart suffered.
